Synopsis
Released at the start of 1979, Armed Forces was Elvis Costello's most ambitious album to date - both artistically and commercially. In this meticulously detailed book, Franklin Bruno tracks down musical reference points from the Beach Boys to Marvin Gaye, and examines the successes (and failures) of Costello's lyrical techniques. He also places the album in the context of Costello's career, and the era's charged social and political climate: this was the time of Rock Against Racism, the birth of Thatcherism, and the infamous "Columbus incident."
